Okay, so what we want to do is that we’re not slip stitching, so this is what it looks like right now. So what we want to do is double crotchet into the top of the first stitch over here. So we’re just going to jump, and yes, it doesn’t make it equal. You’re going to see that it’s going up like a spiral as a result of doing this but you can compensate for this down the road. So, don’t worry about that right now.

So, we’re going to double crotchet right into the top of that stitch there. So, you can see it’s a little abnormal just the way it looks. See how it’s kind of going up. That is oine as long as you maintain a 21. So, what we’re going to do is go all the way around. Again, double crotchet. And when we get back to the armpit hole, we are going to check off the number two on our piece of paper.

So, that’s all you need to do. So if you don’t want to hang out with me for the next two videos too to go around at ten times, and by all means, go out on your own. And after role number ten, role number eleven, which is my own creation. I’ve just changed the pattern to a half-double crotchet to do the actual ends. And, because we are doing the Sparrow, I also – if you don’t want to change the color, I also have changed the actual stitching on role number ten for the last quarter of it in order to compensate. Because it is Sparrowing, and you’re going to see the sparrow, I changed it to half-double crotchet, and then a single stitch to make it look like – it’s just blending properly.

So, go in around the hole, double-crotchet. And, what we’re going to want to do on this one, because this is the second one, we’re going to want to check to make sure that the width is actually the same. But we can’t recheck it yet because there’s not enough to do it. So, we’re just going to fold it, add sweater in half, put the arm sleeves up together, sand see if they actually match.

So, there’s the armpit hole coming up, and right there. Next one is jumping over. So, on a new piece of paper, I want you to write two.
